● If I’m laying out resumes and I’m looking across I’m going to pick the one with certification (…) because I know that they have taken that step to be committed to the profession that we’re in.

● It’s about the information obtained (…) through that but it’s (also) about the networking, the relationship building that happens through the study groups that you participate in.
